The seeds of the Junior League of the Palm Beaches (JLPB) were planted in early 1941 when 15 community-minded women established what was then called The Junior Welfare League.<\/em> Members focused on supporting the war effort, as Palm Beach County hosted many WWII training bases, by hosting canteen events for soldiers and working with the Red Cross.<\/p>\n

JLPB has published three celebrated cookbooks, provides thousands of volunteer hours, and awards annual mini-grants to community programs. Chelsea Bellew, The Junior League of the Palm Beaches President is looking forward to all they have in store for 2024. \u201cWe have had a wonderful year so far with JLPB and I am most looking forward to our upcoming events and welcoming our new spring class! Working with wonderful women who want to make a positive impact in our community is truly an honor.\u201d

To accomplish this mission, Bellew notes that the Junior League has \u201ccreated little libraries around Palm Beach County, distributed [women\u2019s health] supplies to our partners, and work with other nonprofits like the Literacy Coalition, Vita Nova, Cox Science Center, and Path to College.\u201d

One of the most exciting events for 2024 is the \u201c\u2018Sprint into Spring Training 5k\u2019 presented by The Ballpark of the Palm Beaches on February 3, 2024,\u201d says Bellew, \u201cEveryone is welcome to attend this event, including any children interested in the kids run!\u201d This family friendly and a great way for community members to support the Junior League.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe community can get involved with JLPB by attending our fundraising events, sponsoring our events, and reaching out to partner with us if they are fellow nonprofits in the county who need [women\u2019s health] supplies or focus on education and literacy,\u201d according to Bellew. But there are many ways to get involved, especially for community leaders. \u201cWe are always looking for speakers to provide education and training, as well as any ladies who may want to join as potential new members throughout the year. We currently hold fall and spring classes, so there is still room to join in January 2024 for any ladies who may be interested in becoming members in our organization.\u201d<\/p>\n

Membership in the Junior League of the Palm Beaches gives women the opportunity to give back to their community, develop their potential as leaders, and create lasting relationships with like-minded women. Membership begins with participation in a New Member Class that runs from September through May.<\/p>\n
